A pink aquarium for your favourite things: the glass presentation case Floating Boxes by Aylene Ruschke creates an exclusive space for collectibles and special trophies. Her reinterpretation of the classic display cabinet comes with a surprising twist: the integrated cubes look as if they’re floating in mid-air.

Self-sufficient: powered only by copper, magnesium and salt, Bastian Thürich’s SALT side lamp doesn’t contain any of the rare earth metals or harmful, environmentally damaging acids found in used batteries.Instead, the mobile lamp generates its own energy: when it’s turned the right way up, the saline solution sinks to the bottom and closes the circuit.

Need a little reminder? The Conscious Unconsciousness by Michael Varga is a plea for greater awareness when it comes to everyday consumption habits. Here, for instance, a clothes hanger enters into a dialogue with its human user by throwing off clothes that haven’t been worn for a long time.

Light that’s a perfect fit: Gal Bulka’s Axis design is a colourful two-part desk lamp. The angle of incidence is adjusted by means of a playful and totally flexible mechanism: the round base sits in one of three different hollows in a separate element – just like a ball-and-socket joint.

Let there be fragrance! Onda by J.P. van der Horst is an interactive textile accessory for the home. Hung on the wall, it looks as decorative as a picture – and uses nanotechnology to purify the air. Thanks to a coating that reacts with daylight, the textile converts polluted air into harmless water-based molecules.

At your service: the low tambour credenza by INDO- (Manan Narang and Urvi Sharma) is a highly original alternative to conventional sideboards. This new interpretation of a popular 19th-century furniture item was inspired by the Ikat weaving technique, in which each warp end is dyed individually or in bundles – a principle the designers transferred to the individual wooden slats of the sliding doors.

Chunky is the new beautiful: in a revolt against minimalist ideology, the Billy Chair by Joe Smith features starkly contrasting materials and vibrant colours. At the same time, it turns a deliberately unsophisticated construction method into an aesthetic principle.
